Sat, 18 Jul 2015 16:51:38 +0000http://osxdaily.com/?p=1905#comment-1380278I have a similar problem, new to OS Yosemite. Just had a SSD and new HDD put in. Am trying to clean out some external drives and trashed 40,000 items. It has taken 3 days to delete 6,300 items. Is this normal? Is there a faster way besides using the Terminal? I am leary to use the Terminal- bad previous experience.

No need to be rude if you think this is stupid.

This isn’t an article, it just some “random crap happening in my day” noise no one cares about, and better posted to Twitter. The post doesn’t even make sense anyway, since anyone with a large drive who’s been doing a marathon of watching downloaded movies or dealing with other large content files, has seen a trash can this full, many times.
